The Love Family
Recently I got the pleasure of shooting one of my favorite families again. We always have fun when they’re in front of my camera. This time we mainly planned to shoot Ryder’s first birthday pictures but decided to do some of the whole family while we were at it. I’m glad we did, I think they turned out pretty good
Hope you enjoy!












































Nanny’s Surpise Birthday!
This past weekend we celebrated my Nanny’s 70th birthday with a big surprise party! I think it’s safe to say that everyone had a great time! Special thanks to Dixie Dreams for the awesome location, Kyle Fletchers BBQ & Catering in Gastonia for the wonderful food and Christy at Flowers Plus in Charlotte for the beautiful flower arrangements! After weeks of planning and brainstorming she was certainly surprised and we couldn’t have been happier with the way everything turned out! Thank you to everyone who came, I know without a doubt, it was a birthday she will never forget!
Sawyer turns ONE!
Fall mini sessions are here!
I am so excited to announce my Fall Mini-Sessions! Everyone needs to have at least one family picture done a year! Right? While these are smaller, more compact versions of my normal “full sessions”, I never skimp on the Erika Melson Photography style and experience. I have created two packages specifically for a shorter photography session. There is very limited availability for these so book yours today!

See you in October!
“Share the love”
I’ve started a new client referral program for Erika Melson Photography called “Share the love”! I’m proud to say over 95% of my clients are referred to me by their friends and family, so I wanted a way to give back to all the people who put their trust in me!
Simply refer a new portrait client to Erika Melson Photography, and when they book and pay for their session, $40 will be credited under your name for your next portrait session! After you refer 5 people you get your next session for FREE!
Want to earn a free session quicker? Refer a bride or groom to Erika Melson Photography and receive a FREE portrait session when they book and pay a deposit on their wedding photography!
There is no limit to how much credit you can earn!
So get out there and continue to “Share the love” ![]()

Okay so I know I’ve been really, really slack about blogging lately but this morning I thought i’d do a little catching up. If ever you want to see updated galleries of shoots i’m doing you can always go over to my facebook fan page and check out the latest previews! As much as I hate to admit it, it’s updated much more frequently than my blog, but I’m working on that!
Meet Brittany & Josh, the adorable pair I had the pleasure of photographing last week. I loved their shoot so much. The lighting was just perfect and so were they! Thank you so much for having me do your pictures! I hope you love them!
